When people try these cupcakes I get a lot of "these are vegan?!" ( unfortunately a lot of people have been turned off of vegan cooking and baking by being served terrible food). This cookbook (bakebook?) is a great one, I am not usually a fan of gluten free anything but there are 2 gluten free cupcake recipes in here that are so incredibly moist! I have come across a couple misses (I find that in any cookbook though, vegan or not), but the majority of recipes in here knock it out of the park! Rich & delicious!

Eggs and I don't get along so I was happy to see VEGAN cupcake recipes with rave reviews. My first attempt was 'the basic chocolate cupcake" as I had all the ingredients already in my kitchen. They turned out magnificent! I know, big word for a little cupcake, but magnificent they were! My husband had devoured them,,,,,,,,,,,discarded leopard print cupcake wrappers were all over the house! Like a surreal CSI episode, it was! He denied eating them all but the chocolate crumbs trapped in his beard and chocolate stains on his undershirt gave him away. I think my next attempt will be the pistachio cuppies, with the pink swirled frosting. A bit of a girly cuppy, so I might eat more than 2 this time before papa bear catches the scent.
